Hi Robbie,
Have you tried control with apostrophe followed by the letter you wish to write?
When I do this, and then press the letter A, for example, I get an Á
Regards,
Stuart

Subject: [vicsireland] Irish and Jaws
Hi,
I use Jaws 11. It is practically impossible to write Irish in it, so when I
need to write irish, I must turn Jaws off and hope for the best, and then turn
it back on when I'm finished.
Cearbhall pointed out that Ins+4 gives a list of symbols which can be inserted
or added to a text. I have tried this, but it takes so long to find the proper
sínte fada symbol, that writing Irish is far too awkward in this way.
The normal way on a keyboard, using Windows with language settings at Englad
(Ireland), is Right-Alt+A for á, etc; this method allows a person to write in
Irish at the normal speed, but unfortuneately clashes with Jaws commands, so
doesn't work in Jaws. For example, your liable to be told something like,
"object not found" or "there are no headers on this page" etc. - I can't
remember exactly what, because last time I tried, it messed up my language
settings and I don't want to try it again.
Does anyone know of any solution that doesn't involve going in and
reconfiguring Jaws shortcut key settings?
Regards,
Robbie
